Surface of Oberon

The surface of Oberon is like many icy moons. It appears to be changed for it does not have many craters. Instead it has grooves and ridges similar to those found on Ganymede. These grooves ex
tend for many kilometers over the entire surface. The presence of grooves indicates that there has been activity in the interior of Oberon in the past.
